Was looking at doing a turbo setup before I started working on the guts of my motor. I have been reading up on a lot of the success on here and was more curious about cost for a set up. I noticed that a lot of you favor the t70 turbo but I was looking for something that spooled up around 2500 and topped at 3500 to 4000. I generally cruise around 2000 doing about 50 and would like that extra pep in my trucks step when I want to get moving or hit the track for the day.
I'm on a low budget but don't mind splurging a bit or taking my time to find fantastic deals.
With all that said I have a 1995 f150 singe cab short bed dual tank with the 300 on an obd1 system. I currently have no modifications on the motor, just a minor sound system upgrade.
With the addition of the turbo I was going to purchase the clifford long tube headers to give it more flow. Was going to do a dual in super 44 with a single out on a 3" pipe.
I was thinking of removing intake box and relocating my windshield wiper fluid/radiator reservoir. For the turbo I was thinking of putting the mounting brackets in that generall area, unless you think it would be to difficult to mount it over on that side of the motor, I could always weld / bolt brackets to my frame and do a rear mount and run the piping up the side for the intake.
Like I said I am totally new to the forced induction so any suggestions would help, maybe a rough cost for an easy simple functioning build. any links to others posts would also help, I do not mind reading some more if I have not already read it.
